1968: The Global Revolt

World Wars (1x4)

Exibido em:: Set 23, 2018

The fourth part of our documentary follows protagonists of the '68 movement such as Daniel Cohn-Bendit as they moved into the institutions of society and the state. The fight for women's rights and LBGT equality was moving ahead strongly, while a new awareness of the need for environmental protection and criticism of the system led to the formation of non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace and Doctors Without Borders. The fall of Saigon in 1975 and the American pullout from Vietnam ended the war, which had been a key factor in the protests and revolts around the globe. The revolution may have failed, but in just a decade, the so-called generation of 68ers influenced almost every society in the world, and changed our lives in ways we still feel today.
